Jolt Capital Appoints Warren Kim as Managing Director in South Korea

Date: 2025-09-14

SEOUL -- Jolt Capital, a leading private equity firm specializing in growth deeptech investments, announces the appointment of Warren Kim, a former executive at Natixis Asia, as Managing Director based in Seoul, South Korea.

After Japan in 2024, the plan for Jolt Capital was to set a mirroring foot in South Korea and pursue its expansion outside of Europe. With its very sophisticated investors and a group of powerful deeptech-based corporations, South Korea unsurprisingly well attuned to Jolt Capital’s investment thesis.

Hiring an experienced finance professional is a first step for Jolt Capital’s development in South Korea. Warren Kim will help Jolt Capital in terms of investor relations and regulatory requirements, as well as business development for portfolio companies.

Warren Kim, a long-standing and very respected professional in the finance industry is an ideal recruit for Jolt Capital. He joins the existing team of half a dozen IR professionals already deployed in Canada, UK, France and Japan.

Jean Schmitt, comments, “It was the right time for us to cross Warren’s path. His experience and his extended network will prove invaluable in our development in South Korea. I’m planning to be in Jeju and in Seoul this month to meet large institutional investors and to introduce Warren as the first Joltian there. We are convinced he will be key in attracting new South Korean LPs for our fund Jolt Capital V, and in spotting M&A or exit opportunities for our portfolio companies.”

Warren Kim adds, “It is my true honor to join Jolt Capital after many years at Natixis CIB. Korea is very much focused on deeptech with a big push coming from the new administration and it is the right time to be in Korea. As Korea is trying to diversify, Europe is the natural geography as the next strategic partnership. With my professional colleagues, I’m hoping to contribute to the growth of Jolt Capital as well as the growth of Korean deeptech companies.”

His career

Previously, Warren served as Head of Corporate Coverage at Natixis Asia Limited, Seoul Branch (2023-2025), managing not only client relationships such as Samsung, LG, SK, Hanwha, Lotte Group but also important Korean clients’ IB transactions. Before joining Natixis, Warren was as local advisor to Natixis CIB Asia (2010-2023). He holds a B.Sc (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering from Queen Mary College, University of London.
